Demolition and excavation works will be prohibited from selected tourist areas between 15 June and 30 September 2024. This initiative, which is being coordinated between the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA), considers the inconvenience that construction sites have on surrounding residences and hotels.
The enforcement of subsidiary legislation 623.08 (third Schedule 1c) is one way of alleviating the inconvenience that construction sites have both on the tourism industry and on the number of Maltese families moving to live in these areas. The demolition and excavation phases at a construction site are an inconvenience to the surrounding residences.
Any illegal demolition and excavation works carried out between 15th June and 30th September 2023, in the identified localities and streets, may be reported to the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) on the following telephone numbers 80049000, 20955000 or 20955555 for both Malta and Gozo, during and after office hours.
The Malta Tourism Authority is the competent Authority which identifies localities and roads where demolition or excavation works cannot be carried out. The Malta Tourism Authority reserves the right to change or amend the list of roads as it deems necessary.
